This drama tells a story of an extra who gets transported into the body of a princess who's about to be married to a prince, who, apparently was dead by the time she gets there. Whenever the male lead dies, she will be killed too because she's his wife, and the time loops back days before the wedding. The more she died, the further she gets transported back in time, so she tried to prevent his death from happening and find out how to get back to her world.
It has 25 episodes but it's so short with only 8 minutes per episode, so I'd say it's pretty packed with almost zero filler scenes (!!).
The actors who play ML and FL, Hao Fushen has a mouse-kind of face that I like, and although the prince he plays are supposed to be unruly (frequent brothels) but it doesn't really show. Instead he looks pretty gentle and sweet. Jin Zixuan is also good, she plays a time traveller so well, she's fun and not afraid to look silly, and her silliness is not annoying me. No one is a stone faced NPC, and I like that too.
Story wise it's not new, but the execution is done well and makes it look enjoyable. The prince mansion setting is beautiful, and they use a soft color palette that doesn't glare into my eyes. They're also pretty generous with the trinkets and decorations, and if it's a budget drama it certainly doesn't look like it. What irked me is that in some parts it looks like I'm expecting a jump scare(?). There are some plot twists in here, some of it frustrating but not disappointing. Also the ending?? It is honestly predictable but so random I'm torn between laughing and crying.
This is good, simple and easy to watch, fun enough to keep you engaged and guessing. I'd recommend it if you're looking for a short drama.
p.s. I never found out the real name of the FL until I read the synopsis, like?? There is really no narrative intros nothing whatsoever we're just thrusted into this time travel thing and expected to find out ourselves. It's kind of fun though.

Better than 60 episodes lengthy and cumbersome dramas.
Just watch it already. Its a way better short, comedy and sweet drama. Story is full of twists and doesn’t get boring for a nanosecond. I like it. Most importantly you don’t have to wait for 40-60 episodes for the same ending of almost every Chinese drama. So go for it.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Don’t miss out on this time-loop gem
This is a great time-loop costume production with great actors and a brilliant and mesmerizing storyline. I normally hate stories with time-loops because they get too repetitive for me, but this one doesn’t. Each timeline has its own story with only the basic story being the same. It’s kind of a crime-solving story with a sweet romance.Character wise:
FL is a sweet and kind woman who ends up in a time-loop involving her and ML’s marriage.
ML is a clever and nice but reluctant man who doesn’t want to be a part of the power struggle for the throne.
Acting wise this is great and the chemistry between the leads is very good.
So, if you love a great time-loop/time-travel story - with twists and turns - this is a “Must Watch”.

Loop Drama With Best New Actors
i'm not usually into short time travel drama because they tend to have the same repetitive story. not to mention, short dramas usually filled with new faces actors that mostly need to sharpen their acting skill.but not this one. i can say this short web drama has the best newbies so far. the main lead actors did not only give wonderful acting gesture but also face expressions. i hope they both can grow big because they deserve it.
the story is light and it flows at the right pace. no draggy scenes and prolong dialogs. i binge watched it for 3 hour straight.
i highly recommend this drama, short but engaging.

sweet. short. fast.
Loved it. Only gave it an 8 because I save 9 and 10 for masterpieces.By episode 17 of these 12 minute shorts I was laughing at the twists, and I never laugh. Others have said it better...great show in a shrunken down version. It's highly entertaining, and the repeats of her life doesn't get repetitive Actors, especially FL were delightful. Enjoyed it a lot. Halfway through I was going to suggest that it's a good one to watch on a flight or train commuting to kill time, but it's much better than that.

TEN out of TEN (why no one talks about this?)
GHAD. WHAT A WRAP! Again, I just found this on YT-- never saw the trailer or synopsis but it still hooked me! What I like about this one is the plot and how they deliver the story. Its mystery was awesome without being angsty! I know I was a fool not believing FL but they got me there! Storytelling at its finest!Revelations there and there? GHAD, I already like the people who created this!
FL was great with confidence! I like how she naturally gives the scenes a thumbs up. ML was also awesome and I might add fast to adopt given that he was locked in a cycle and FL was the only one who kept track.
OVERALL, must watch, and don't spoil yourself with these chaotic time lapses yet nice nice story. True 10/10!

Lovely couple. Sweet Story.
This is actually one of the decent mini drams out there. What I like about this is that it doesn't follow the trend of abusive relationships where the leads treat each other like shit and then call it love. This was such a sweet story, of course the script wasn't anything new but I enjoy watching time-loop romances. It is especially well done since both the leads were such cuties, the best part was that they trusted each other. The first few instances were funny, especially with him kicking her off the roof when she might have aborted her escape plan. This is definitely a fun drama to rewatch when you want to wash of the intensity of dramas that leave you heartbroken.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
